Be sure to constantly check for updates and emails from your child’s school. Visit the WCSD website, whitehallcoplay.org, for all the important forms and important updates.

Please follow the hybrid schedule your child has been assigned.

WCSD is doing the very best to keep your child safe and to keep you informed.

If you have any questions or concerns, contact your child’s school. Be sure your child’s school has your correct phone numbers and emails.

***

Updating phone numbers is important. Remember to update student information on the parent portal. WCSD requests all student records be reviewed and/or updated, so WCSD has accurate contact information and medical records for the start of school. Instructions were included in a letter in the August mailing that has student/user ID and password information. Parents can enter the site by visiting update.whitehallcoplay.org.

***

Steckel Elementary School parents/guardians, please make sure you park in a parking space or the loop when picking up your child. Otherwise, it makes it very difficult for buses to get through if vehicles are double parked.

Thank you for your cooperation.

***

Don’t forget to follow your child’s schools on Twitter. Each of the buildings in WCSD have Twitter pages.

This is a great way to stay up to date on all the great things happening.
